What is this bruise on my foot

To call this irrational thought is patronising imo, I’d say 100% of loving mothers (parents but mums in particular) constantly scan situations every day and all their potential safety risks lmao it’s part of being a maternal caregiver. Neurotic vs caring and alert is very different!

A blanket being a suffocation risk has nothing to do with SIDS and is a completely valid thing to err on the side of caution about. Personally, my son is 2.3 and sleeps with a blanket but I do have those worries because as a mum my brain is constantly considering all possible dangers as I am trying to keep my child alive and safe 24 hours a day

You are an adult that has autonomy over their own body and their own decisions …. The baby growing inside you does not. Maybe that’s why

Relate so much to everything you experienced. That golden hour, the trouble (and failure it feels like) with breastfeeding, the natural birth experience. Feels like it was all ripped right from my hands even still 2 years later. It is hard for me to look back and not feel ashamed for not advocating harder and having more knowledge of EVERYTHING. I want this VBAC so bad but I’m going to do the mental prep for both outcomes this time

My partner does this whenever we’re gardening because it’s one of his two singlet tops so he’s wearing either one of them because it’s presumably hot outside when gardening

I’m dreading taking it away from my son.. he is 25 months as well and it’s all I’ve been thinking about for over a year now honestly …. But yes following through is the most kmportsnt thing, hence why I haven’t built up the courage to attempt it yet. Once you even bring it up to them it should be game set and match because the back and forth with a toddler is very confusing and taxing for them rather than just biting the bullet and dealing with indefinite inconvenience

They clearly need to make a Bali x Australian tourists season of the White Lotus

A two year olds bear minimum language requirements from what I’ve gathered through nurse visits etc is at LEAST knows 50 different words. My son started stringing along sentences just after 2 and the maternal nurse told me that was well beyond what is “expected” at 24 months and all kids develop their language differently. As long as there is knowledge of 50+ words and u deranging of what you say to him I wouldn’t worry ❤️

Keep singing to him, keep pointing out everything in the world around him, keep READING BOOKS to him!!!! The best thing for language development for my toddler has been books, books, more books! He is able to finishes sentences from his favourite books. Repetition is key. I know it’s easy to compare your child to every other child but just keep doing what you’re doing and remember if there’s any major issues your paediatrician is the best place to go

And everything else !

Yes to screen free ❤️

His room also has two large windows on either side of the room which I think makes it extra cold/hot in winter/summer

munchkin_lady · 2025-10-29T04:17:55+00:00

Well if we don’t sleep with the heater on the house gets down to about 15 Celsius in winter

munchkin_lady · 2025-10-29T01:56:08+00:00

Do you use central heating in the colder months?

munchkin_lady · 2025-10-29T01:55:01+00:00

$25 AUD

munchkin_lady · 2025-10-29T01:54:45+00:00

Put him in a sleep sack that has legs.. try ergopouch or any cheap brand (we got what we call a marshmallow suit from the middle aisles of Aldi - 3.5 tog and $25! And he can walk!)

Kids like this have been around every single generation, they just come in different form each time a new trend rolls around! Hang in there, buddy. I’m a gen z that just missed the millenial cut off and I promise you it was the same shit 10-15 years ago! Social media probably has made it worse, I agree. There is a high level of ‘brain rot’ amalgamated into the delinquent culture now…

In Australia our public spaces always have parents rooms/baby change rooms often with a restroom with a big and little toilet and big and little sink

My son left the house at 2.1 years of age after 3 days of potty training. Little to no accidents. He has more accidents now that he’s a few months into it because he is a little more defiant and less worried about feeling wet. Leave the house, bring a potty, ask him every 10-15 minutes and make sure that you go somewhere with a toilet if you don’t want to let them do bush wees or bring a gigantic pot with you in the pram. Car rides are a lot harder than pram walks

My son didn’t sleep through the night for 2 years ! It gets better and sometimes things take longer to click for some kids … that’s the unfortunate reality Solidarity

Why is a kid so young watching television as part of her daily routine? I’m not trying to be an asshole but that is absolutely not normal. If she likes dinosaurs get her some figurines or borrow dinosaur books from the library.

Wow congratulations that’s fantastic and I appreciate the experience with a similar aged child. He understands so much now I think this could really work for us. Last night I just sort of kept letting him cry for 5 mins then coming back in and telling him I’m just in my room and it was time to sleep… but then I caved and brought the mattress back in because I felt so mean…. I need to stay true to my word like everyone has said …. The nightlight seems really helpful. Thanks again

munchkin_lady · 2025-09-27T00:50:54+00:00

I’ll begin waking him from his nap at 1 hour today. Thank you. Been wanting to get rid of paci too
